I went here for the first time this weekend and I was pleasantly surprised! Although there was an hour long wait it was worth it. The sides were amazing, and menu B had everything I could ask for!! Good serving sizes, and the thin sliced pork belly was the best on their menu. The staff was amazing!! Super friendly, spoke Spanish, and was super attentive and was quick about everything! Not to mention, the music was amazing, and had hits after hits the whole time we were there. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area!!

Castle KBBQ is one of the best kbbq places we have tried! The portions are generous, the customer service is above and beyond, and the food itself (meat and sides) are delicious! We will absolutely be coming back!

This is my go to spot if you want a bang for your buck. I love there twist of miso soup not your traditional but taste good to me. We did the $28.50 which had the beef belly if your not into fat this ain't for you. The flat iron which they named it flower steak was actually good quality I like cooking mine with just a good sear in both sides them comes out medium rare. This spot always have excellent service the spot was well lit for the afternoon they do blast the music so most def not a kid friendly spot. Other than that this will go under my Tier C: 1st spot with RH BBq 2 in Rowland heights being 2nd. Then following Tier B number 1 will be Hae Jang Chon Korean BBQ number 2 Magal BbQ which is closed Tier A 1 Niku X

Price point is really good for menu A. ~24 dollars pp to feed a lot of hungry kids. We came for my daughter's birthday and it was great. We had a table for 8, service was good, and borthday treat for the birthday girl. They charge first for big tables but you can add more later. Valet is $10. I brought cash and I think it may be preferred method. I think service charge for big table was 18%. Overall a great way to have dinner for everyone! If you're not a harsh critic for quality in meats you'll enjoy this place.

Stopped by on Wednesday, 11/27/24 (dinner time). There are 3, AYCE menu options (A, B or C). Opted in for Menu C: - 2 AYCE - Menu C ($35.50 per person) = $71 SUBTOTAL = $71 TAX = $6.75 OVERALL TOTAL = $77.75 Very delicious! This place was busy and jam-packed. Fortunately there was no wait time. Valet parking outside (not free) - parking can be very tricky (not spacious). Menu C has additional foodie options and I would recommend this menu option if you are a huge seafood lover. This menu includes: spicy baby octopus, beef tongue, marinated shrimp, rib eye steak, squid, and spicy brisket. 5/5!!!

Korean BBQ! They have 3 different tiers of pricing depending on what you want to eat. We were fine with the lowest tier (A Menu) since our favorite meat is beef brisket. There weren't a lot of banchans but they had the core: kimchi, potato salad, and bean sprouts. A small bowl of salad was also served and you can ask for more of the banchans. Overall the meat was very flavorful and the service was good. Would not recommend the intestine unless you like very gamey meat. Our server was quick to bring items we asked for and he checked in on us regularly. It's a smaller older restaurant in a strip mall with valet parking. There might be street parking in the area. They played upbeat music, top hits from the past two decades. Overall 3.5 rounded up to 4. Would come back again if I'm in the area!

This is a staple for our family. We've been coming here for well over a decade now. Living in LA is always an adventure, and finding these hole-in-the-wall places odd part of what makes the journey worth while. Highly recommended!!!

We enjoyed our dinner here. We paid $21.99 for eat all you can. We love the beef bulgogi, pork belly, chicken and pork bulgogi. We love their cucumber and salad sides. We came in and we were served quick. It took about 2 minutes for us to get our table. The place was noisy since it was packed.

This is a cheap eats spot. If you're looking to get the most bang for your buck, this would be it. The atmosphere and vibe is very Hispanic. There's ONLY Reggaeton music that plays here. The majority, if not all workers, were speaking Spanish. So this isn't your typical Kbbq. It's definitely more targeted for the western crowd. The same goes for the food. It's not your traditional seasonings but more of a Western style. I will say that the meats were well seasoned and tasted great. Quality is questionable for sure. I wasn't sure what we were eating when some of the meats arrived. Some of the brisket looked freezer burnt but tasted alright. The Banchan were all really good. They start you off with little sample sizes, and if they see you eat it all, they'll bring you a bigger portion of it. The service is amazing. The staff check up on you constantly, making sure you're good on meats, drinks, etc.... they also came around frequently to change out the grill top. The only strange part was paying before you got seated. I'd give this place 4.5/5 due to the quality of meats, but with the pricing, it doesn't justify a whole star. This is a place where people come to eat a lot for cheap and it provides exactly that.
